The foundation has been entered in the ANBI Registry, which means that gifts are generally tax deductible.
Purpose of the foundation is to generate income to maintain the Mahathma Gandhi Home in Pondicherry, India. This is a project that offers shelter to older women who would otherwise for different reasons have to live on the streets.
It tries to achieve this by publicizing this website, the regular appearance of a newsletter and take every action that serves the goal.
At this moment the Home offers shelter to 20 women.

The board consists of:

Pien Zwaan, chairwoman, Els van Wageningen, general member, Thijs Witteman, secretary and treasurer.
All board members are volunteers.Even for this relatively small project, the board produces an annual financial report. It shows that, apart from the costs for banking, all income is used for the project.
